Labour Government silent on enviromental scandal
The previous Liberal Government had a serious problem with disposing of asylumn seeker boats and wisely chose to bring them ashore,burn and bury to landfill.These boats could be carrying any manner of exotic diseases with potentially disasterous consequences for our marine environment. As a result of Labour's failed policies to stop the boats hundreds have arrived and have to be disposed of. Instead of taking ashore,burning and burying to landfill the Labour Government tows these boats to off Chrismas Island and burns and sinks them in these highly sensitive and pristine waters which are the spawning grounds for the Southern Bluefin Tuna and are the only place in the world where these tuna spawn.It has been estimated to date 350 to 400 boats have been burnt and sunk on these grounds representing approx 20,000 tonnes of toxic waste in this sensitive spawning area.The government has said the Southern Bluefin Tuna are an endangered species - if they continue with this practice they could become a demised species!Despite front page headlines in West Australian newspapers and questions asked in Parliment the Labour Government remains silent on this issue and will no doubt continue this practice despite their own environmental law and million dollar penalties for acts such as this.This is a shocking marine environmental scandal and demonstrates the utter contempt of the Gillard government for the Australian fishing industry-they have not even bothered to reply to the questions in Parliment regarding this practice.
